  19 ------------

  21 To compile Babeltrace, you will need:
  22
  23         gcc 3.2 or better
  24         glib 2.16 or better development libraries
  25           (Debian : libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-dev)
  26           (Fedora : glib2, glib2-devel)
  27         libc6 development librairies
  28           (Debian : libc6, libc6-dev)
  29           (Fedora : glibc, glibc)
  30         uuid development libraries
  31           (Debian : uuid-dev)
  32           (Fedora : uuid-devel)

  34 For developers using the git tree:
  35
  36 This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
  37 portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
  38 compile the git repository tree :
  39
  40 - GNU autotools (automake >=1.7, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50)
  41   (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!)
  42 - GNU Libtool
  43   (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
  44 - Flex and Bison.
  45
  46 If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the "bootstrap"
  47 script in the root of the tree. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the
  48 tree configuration.
